The Eclipse Foundation on Tuesday announced several new projects and releases aimed at extending the Eclipse platform in the embedded and device software market.
Among the new initiatives is the next release of the C/C++ Development Tools (CDT) project, which, along with the Device Software Development Platform (DSDP) project established last year, is being demoed at the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose, Calif., this week.
The CDT and DSDP projects extend the Eclipse platform and provide frameworks for OEMs and vendors of real-time operating systems (RTOSs), software development tools, and electronic design automation (EDA) tools.
The CDT project forms the basis of at least 17 commercially available development tools, including those from QNX Software Systems, Intel, Nokia, Texas Instruments, and Siemens. More than 25 companies are contributing to the CDT project.
The first Eclipse projects are slated to be released in June; commercial products are expected to ship shortly after. Both projects are actively recruiting new contributors to their technology.
